Quick question, I've just been focused on the draft the past week or so, but when does FA start. The last time I really followed FA heavily was that first summer the Bulls had all the cap room. IIRC you have a week period or so where the teams can wine and dine (yet can't make an offer) and than at midnight the FA period begins and a lot of contracts get signed really quickly.

I think it is the same as always. Mid July you can start talking but you cant sign until August 1st.

So July 15th you can start talking and August 1st you can actually sign?

Nope, I was way wrong.

"negotiating period begins July 1, and teams can start signing players July 12"

Gracias. So right after the draft we get to move onto FA.

I ask that because I plan on upgrading the board to version 2 during some sort of dead time between now and FA (that way we got this site on the best platform so it can continue to grow).

Gotcha.

what is the difference from version 1 to version 2? Jw

Version 2 has a few more features in terms of how to quote and has a little cleaner look. Definately some major upgrades in terms of quoting posts.
